Michigan State adds in-state LB, former Minnesota commit, to 2024 recruiting class
Brady Pretzlaff is set on playing for Joe Rossi.
Pretzlaff, a linebacker prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, committed to play for the Minnesota Golden Gophers back on Jan. 19, 2023. At that time, Rossi was the Gophers’ defensive coordinator. Rossi has left Minnesota to be part of Jonathan Smith’s Michigan State staff, and Pretzlaff is joining him in East Lansing.
Pretzlaff, who decommitted from Minnesota a week ago, announced his commitment to the Spartans during a Wednesday ceremony.
